I find acid to less prone to fear than shrooms for the following reasons:
Acid does not mess with high 'meta'-cognition as much as shrooms. So although your perceptions are altered to an even higher degree than with psilocybin, the most integral thoughts such as "I am safe," "I am on a drug," "I know where I am," seem to remain in tact. You have more control, and are able to interface with the real world easier. On mushrooms even the most crucial thought systems turn into a fractal mess and you can really lose touch.
Secondly I think mushrooms deregulate emotional responses more than acid so feelings tend to fly off to extremes with heavy inertia and no gravity. At low doses it makes the world seem like when you where a child but the more you do it becomes almost impossible to control heavy emotional responses.
LSD also has the advantage that the stimulant quality keeps you moving along so you don't get stuck in a bad place for too long.
It also seems to be more psychonalytical and retains more clarity so negative feelings tend to be worked though in a more calm and logical way. With acid it is your own brain you are dealing with, so it isn't to hard to find a way out or solution to a problem.
Lastly the mushrooms have the alien feeling. They just seem weirder. Where acid is more existential and personal the mushrooms can take you into some very foreign territory and you have to have alot of faith they will take you back.
-------------------- 1. "After an hour I wasn't feeling anything so I decided to take another..." 2. "We were feeling pretty good so we decided to smoke a few bowls..." 3. "I had to be real quiet because my parents were asleep upstairs..."

Exactly, I have drove home from a rave early, on 2 hits of good acid, in a snowstorm..it was during the peak of the trip too, but I parked and talked with my friend, he was sober at the time, but he could feel that I was tripping..so he was having fun with me at the same time. I stayed at his house for most of the night, and went home later, it was only a half mile away so it was cool.

It's been my experience that acid has given me both the best and worst trips ever. Shrooms have always been more in the middle.

anytime i start to feel panicked, overwhelemed or in the bad trip state, i just say "its just a drug" and laugh and take deep breaths and then tell myself ill be back "down" in a couple hours, it will help especially if you say it out loud. that being said, From most of my friends i hear acid doesnt really give you a chance to have a bad trip unless you let it, cause ur mind is always busy, shrooms for me are more or less the world cramming itsself into ur skull all at once.... in a good way lol

I have to agree with divided sky as well. While I have found mushrooms much more likely to produce a negative or out of control feeling trip, they also seem much more likely to induce a euphoric and/or spiritual experience.

Personally, mushrooms seems more likely to result in a bad trip. I've tried both, acid twice mushrooms three times. Acid is safer in public settings I've found. Shrooms are a slower, earthier feeling. Acid is like sticking your finger into an electrical socket. While tripping on mushrooms, your emotions tend to be more out of control be that good or bad is up to your mood prior. To me acid seems a lot more stable despite what some people say.
